needs her. Craves her. She’s the only glimpse of happiness through the building
drama in his life and yet one drunken kiss has pushed her further away.

Tormented by what’s at stake.

Leah
Gorman’s management contract states she can never act on her feelings for any

resist him. Even when their attraction gets in the way of her job.

attraction may prove safer than risking everything they hold dear. They have to
decide what matters most—their years of friendship, or a chance at love that
will destroy them both if they can’t make it work.

of fans, rock star, Mitchell Davies can’t deny the innocent beauty of a woman in

savior.

her most vulnerable.

Attraction will bring them together, but their pasts will try to
tear them apart.

He wants to teach her
how to trust, but she’ll show him how to love. In a glamorous world of
rock-and-roll, only time will tell if they’re up for the challenge.

Rush had
always been the brother that was the most up for adventure. Then
Grinder died and he realized that it was time to slow down. Fast-forward by a
year and more and his older brother Archer had found Mel. Hell, his own twin
was with a woman of his own! Rush is starting to get restless again, which was just
perfect. Cue a string of anonymous hook-ups and one night stands. It was enough
to feed the restlessness for a while, then an adventure of sorts came a callin’
by way of the VP’s estranged aunt and the President’s sister-in-law.

Her
daughter was in need of some kind of white knight, which Rush could care less
about, but the white knight routine did come with a pretty big perk.
It would mean that he got to go back to a job that had, once upon a time, felt
like a calling.

Of
course, nothing was ever easy where Rush was concerned, especially when he
actually set eyes on the damsel in distress. One, she wasn’t some paper
princess, and two, she definitely didn’t want him around. After all, one-night
hook-ups were supposed to be just that… one and done.

In The Series

Brother
to Brother: The Sacred Brotherhood Book I

Melody Beswick thought she was
bringing herself and her thirteen month old son home to his father. It was her
last ditch effort to make a better life for her and her boy. One in which Noah
had a father to look up to and guide him. While she knew Grinder wasn’t perfect,
she believed in him, and love always found a way, right?

Melody never thought her dreams for herself and her son could twist into such
nightmares, and that it was so true, the old adage, that the road to hell is
paved with good intentions. She’s about to find out that another adage is true,
that sometimes it’s better the devil you know, when instead of finding Grinder,
it’s his cold and critical brother Archer at the end of her long drive that she
must contend with.

With no other options, and no place else to go, Melody is about to make a deal
with this devil that she can’t refuse. Who knew it could, quite possibly, be
the best decision she’s ever made?

Her
Brother's Keeper: The Sacred Brotherhood Book II

Fate introduces people at both
the right and the wrong times…

So it is for Maren on the
absolute worst day imaginable. When all hope was gone, and she was whittled
away to little more than tears and despair, up walks Nox, an unlikely hero to
save the day. Maren is about to discover that sometimes the good guys wear
black, and there are times that the lines between good and evil blur beyond
recognition.

Nox is a bad man with a heart of
gold, or so it seems. It also seems that Maren has captured that heart with her
wide, tear filled brown eyes. Nox never saw himself going for jailbait before,
but that’s just what Maren is, all woman trapped in a seventeen year old package.
Still, what he wouldn’t do for her, including taking on the unlikely role of
keeper to her unruly preteen brother.

This mess could end beautifully
or in some serious time spent behind bars for Nox, but sometimes, it’s worth
risking it all.

A.J.
Downey is a born and raised Seattle, WA Native. She finds inspiration from her
surroundings, through the people she meets and likely as a byproduct of way too
much caffeine.

She has
lived many places and done many things though mostly through her own
imagination… An avid reader all of her life it’s now her turn to try and give
back a little, entertaining as she has been entertained.

Dylan McBride doesn't like hiding—from his fans, the press, or his father. He's left with no other choice after his dad threatens Heaven's life. His greatest fear is losing his wife and unborn child. He will do anything to save them, even tolerate a connection Heaven shares with her Keeper. Yet the man sworn to protect her is the one Dylan used to call his friend.

Layne is struggling to harness his pyrokinesis. Controlling the fire within him is tougher than he imagined, but so is accepting his role as Heaven's Keeper. As if kissing her didn't cause enough friction, he learns their Seeker-Keeper bond is far more complicated. Heaven is affecting more than his mind and powers. She's waging war on his heart and soul.

Heaven isn't enjoying life on the run or the sudden onset of clairvoyant visions. If they come true, she'll need Layne's protection more than ever. Though he's taken to his Keeper duties, she senses a battle in his soul that's preventing him from accessing his true power. The only way to help him is to deepen their friendship. But nothing goes according to plan, and Heaven soon discovers there's a thin line between love, hate, duty, and fate.

What the Heart Takes is the third installment in the Soulmate Series. If you like mesmerizing romances with suspense, soulmates, and supernatural twists, you’ll love Kelli McCracken’s compelling take on love, fate, and destiny.

Well I have to say that Kelli McCracken has done it again. Dylan, Heaven and yes Mr Layne Perry have entered my life again and I am caught in the web of these characters. The characters have been slowly developing and evolving as this series has continued but none more than Layne. This book really shows us the true struggles that he has been going through being part of this heavenly trio. (Yes pun intended).

This is simply an amazing book and I couldn't stop reading it. I will not give away the plot or story because honestly you need to experience Kelli's writing genius on your own. If you haven't read the first two books in the series it is advised that you do so. I am so in love with what I learned about Layne and I love how his character is developing and I am learning more about him. He is such a tortured soul fighting what he knows he should do and what his heart desires. This book really showed me a glimpse into the heart of him.

The struggles that Heaven and Dylan face as they try to start their journey together is faced with challenges and struggles. It is through their love for each other that will only see them through it all. So Kelli you have me hooked, line and sinker. I love an author that can pull me into the story and have me walking the steps with the characters and that is what I feel I have done with this book. Do I recommend this book... Yes! Do I think it deserves five stars... No I think it deserves a million stars. I love, love, love this book and I look forward to the next chapter in this story and to find out what journey you will take me on next
